À travers différentes activités, cet atelier vous aidera à ouvrir la communication et à favoriser le lien entre vous et votre enfant qui bègue. Nous accueillons les parents, les tuteurs et les autres membres de la famille de l'enfant qui sont là pour le soutenir. Ces activités seront animées par notre coordinatrice nationale Eeva et sa fille Alexandra qui bégaie également. Au CSA, nous reconnaissons l'importance du soutien familial lorsqu'un enfant bégaie, et ne cherchez pas plus loin que cet atelier pour commencer ces conversations avec votre enfant dès aujourd'hui ! Vous et votre enfant quitterez cet atelier avec des œuvres d'art, des outils dans votre poche arrière pour de futures conversations avec votre enfant, et une idée pour continuer ces conversations significatives à la maison.
À propos des présentateurs/présentatrices
Alexandra D'Agostino
My name is Alexandra D’Agostino and I have stuttered since I was 7. I am a Registered Nurse, having graduated from Nipissing University’s Nursing Scholar Practitioner Program, and I also have a BA Combined Honours in Psychology and Anthropology from Wilfrid Laurier University. Music is one of my passions, (I play 7 instruments!), as well as helping people and volunteering. I have spent 5 years volunteering with the National Stuttering Association in the United States, where I spent 3 of those years serving on their Teen Advisory Council. When I was invited to be on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Stuttering Association in 2014, I was thrilled to be able to volunteer with an association that was closer to home. Being on the Board of Directors has been such an extraordinary, and honouring experience to have had the opportunity to help revitalize the CSA from the ground up. By volunteering with the CSA and NSA, I hope to change other people’s lives, as the two stuttering associations did for me.
Eeva Stierwalt
Eeva’s daughter, Alexandra, is a young person who stutters and has been on the CSA board of directors and the conference planning committee for a number of years. Providing support for Alexandra over the years has given Eeva a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by people who stutter.
